🚨 Don’t Fall for This Facebook Scam (They Tried It with Me)

⸻

Let me put y’all on really quick…

This morning, I got a DM on Facebook from some random account named “Filip Zadrożny.” Off rip, it looked like one of those Meta warnings — talking about “Your page is scheduled for deletion due to trademark infringement,” and then they dropped a link for me to click to “request a review.”

👀 Yeah… nah.

Let’s break this down so nobody in the Branch Brand community falls for it:

Here’s What They Tried:

• Fake warning message from a random personal account (not Meta).

• Saying I violated “trademark rights” and my page will be deleted.

• Gave a shady link with a weird URL (not Facebook or Meta).

• Threw in some official-looking Meta branding to make it look real.

But I peeped it.

Here’s What You Need to Know:

• Meta will never send official warnings through DMs. They use your Support Inbox at https://facebook.com/support.

• If it’s real, it’ll come from Meta or Facebook directly, not some random user account.

• Scam links often use weird URLs like shorten.ee, bit.ly, or random strings — don’t click those.

• If you’re ever unsure, just go straight to your Support Inbox. Don’t trust the message — verify the source.

Protect Yourself:

✅ Turn on two-factor authentication for your Facebook account.

✅ Never click links from DMs claiming to be Meta.

✅ Report and block fake profiles immediately.

✅ Screenshot stuff like I did. Stay alert, stay safe.

Spread the word. These scammers are getting slick, but we’re smarter.

Keep your page, your brand, and your followers protected.

Stay On Point!
